Editors' Prediction
Sporting are impressive, but they rarely thrash opponents (just once in their last six matches). Meanwhile, Gil Vicente have secured two consecutive clean-sheet victories, boosting their confidence significantly. We believe in the underdogs here and suggest betting on the visitors with a +2.5 handicap. Gil Vicente have maintained this margin in 12 of their last 13 away games.
